    U-Chun is one of a few food stalls located within the H-mart Korean supermarket in the Little Ferry plaza. This is my husband's go-to spot, and it's easy to see why. Each of the stalls kind of have their own niche, and U-Chun firmly occupies the soup and stew sector of Asian/Korean food. Most of their menu options are served on a hot plate or stone bowl, which is meant to keep your food hot and bubbly as you feverishly blow on and consume your meal. Placing an order is a cinch, even for non-Koreans who can ask for menu items by number. Hang onto your receipt afterwards because it'll have your order number. An automated voice will helpfully announce ready orders (by restaurant name and order number) over the loudspeaker so you don't have to hover in the immediate vicinity. Given the number of items on their menu and how limited their space is, it's impressive they can turn out items as well and as quickly as they do. So far, we've tried the bulgogi bibimbap, with is topped with a sweet soy marinated meat and meant to be mixed with veggies and an optional gochujang sauce serving. It's decent, though I have a pet peeve about hot stone bibimbaps that don't achieve the crunchy burnt rice bottom. I liked far better the spicy chicken stew, which is chock full of tender braised chicken and tender potatoes in a fiery stew. It's intensely flavorful and sure to clear up any sinus issues in a few bites.

    Noodles with beef
    Michael G.

    Awesome Korean food. I ordered noodles with steak and the food was delicious and authentic. The staff was friendly and very nice

    Chicken dolsotbap
    Manasa A.

    Its in the hmart little ferry. Chicken dolsotbap and the kimchi dolsotbap are super tasty

    pork udon
    Joshua C.

    Got the jjeuk udon stir fried. Pretty underwhelming experience. The food was decent but paying $15 for food court food where the portion sizes are a bit light was disappointing. The food itself comes with sides which were okay as well but the portion and price was a big no for me. Normally would expect food court food to be the opposite of that.

    Seoullongtang
    Mel T.

    U Chun is located in the HMart food court and we were looking for a quick lunch one Saturday afternoon at around 2. After a few loops around the food court, I picked U Chun because I was in the mood for some soup, and I saw they had seolleongtang, which is a beef bone broth. I've been meaning to try it so this was the perfect opportunity. I ordered the one with sliced beef and noodles. This came with a cup of rice and some banchan. The banchan was kimchi, cucumbers, and some peppery daikon one (which I did not care for). The broth itself was very good. It's soothing and seems like something that would be good to drink if you were sick or hungover. There were very little noodles in it, which I didn't mind because I actually liked eating the soup with the rice. The beef had no more beef flavor, I assume because they use it to make the broth. I don't know if I would order seolleongtang again here, but I wouldn't mind trying some of their other menu items.

    벌집 삼겹살 Grilled Pork Belly
    Min L.

    Added Grilled Pork Belly to my favorites! As other dishes, its not-overly-seasoned porky was served perfectly cooked with minimal oil in the pork. Onions on the base on top of hot pan was a great touch to have them absorb the oil from above, at the same time lightly cooked from the pan below. The friendly owner provided me with home-grown Minari Muchim, whose spice was well paired with the pork bellies. Highly recommended 5+.

    Ojingeo dolsotbap
    Samantha D.

    Every time I come to hmart in little ferry I have to get the ojingeo dolsotbap from here! It's my favorite item that I've tried in this food court and consistently good! It's not too salty, and not too oily. It always comes with different side dishes too. The service is friendly and quick, no complaints about anything here really. It's a convenient place for a very good meal.

    #3 spicy beef soup
    Irene C.

    For those one who hasn't visited this place before, this is a restaurant located in the food court inside of H-mart, while it seems small, it has some really good dishes that I just keep coming back whenever I visit this H-mart. I've tried several dishes so far, my go to dish is yukgaejang, which is a spicy soup with shredded beef and scallion, but I also enjoy their other dishes such as cold noodles, seafood pancake and other dishes. I honestly haven't tried one dish that I don't enjoy. The order process is fairly straightforward- you order first and pay, then when they call the number on your receipt, you can go pick it up your food. When you finish your food, you will bring your tray back to the restaurant, don't leave the tray and dishes on the table. Since it's food court and you pretty much help yourself, you don't really have to tip the restaurant.

    La Galbi Combo (~$20)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: La Galbi Combo (~$20): Galbi + Soft Tofu Soup (Seafood) with rice, egg, and banchan Aya's take: I was honestly debating between a 3/5 and 4/5 but there were just one too many things that made this meal less enjoyable. I'm a big fan of Korean food and have had my fair share of it. The portion of Galbi here is unbelievably small and misleading compared to the photo on the menu; there was literally like 4 pieces of meat. The Soft Tofu Soup wasn't even the right red color, as you can tell. It also wasn't spicy. Unfortunately I have a feeling they assumed because I'm not Asian that I wouldn't like it spicy or "know" Korean food. All in all, the presentation was fine but every part of the meal was lackluster. I would try other options at this food hall before coming back here.

    I was in the H Mart and found a lot of good-looking options in the food court area. This one caught my eye and saw a reasonably-priced bulbogi bibimbap which is stir-fried beef, marinated in Korean BBQ sauce. It also comes with an egg on top even though that was not pictured. I did like that it was It wasn't a long wait and the food was piping hot so I had to be patient. The dish had a ton of flavored meet, the egg, green onions, and a few other veggies with rice on the bottom. It was actually a LOT of food for a very reasonable price. It came with a sauce and a little tray of toppings (I think) but the dish was really super flavored on its own. Although if I returned to H Mart I'd try a different place in the food court, I definitely think this place is a winner.

    Squid Dolsotbap
    Priscila K.

    HMart food court is so convenient. Food and service at Uchun is always good. I had the Squid Dolsotbap this time and it was delicious. Good amount of squid and pretty spicy! It comes with 3 simple banchan.

    Cold Noodles
    Jennifer S.

    The cold noodles was soooo yummy. Very convenient location and the service was surprisingly quick.

    ***this was at their other location…read more Even though the venue was small and there's limited seating, the food was so good. Best kimchi I've had in a while as well! The service was consistent, only once did we have to ask for refills for water. Food: we ordered the half and half raw marinated crab, bibimbap, abalone congee and fried oysters. Raw crabs: marinated and seasoned perfectly. We aren't a spicy loving family, but this was perfect amount for us that we could handle the spice. Our lips and mouths burned, but the good tingle, not the fire breathing 911 burn. lol Fried oysters: well battered and fried, nicely aromatic Abalone congee: perfectly textured and the abalone meat and taste was present. This helped offset the spiciness of the crabs. Bibimbap: not your average clay pot type, this was on a plate and with lots of green vegetables. Also delicious! The Bon chon was different and excellent. Variety of different vegetables, pickled and fermented. We enjoyed them all. FYI: there is a small parking lot as well

Ordered three things: 1) marinated crabs, small size (5/5). Always a must-get here. 2) ddukbaegi bulgogi (4.5/5) - Thinly sliced prime marinated beef ribeye casserole with rice cake and glass noodle and mushroom served in a sizzling hot pot. Really flavorful and so good to have on a cold day. 3) ahjae ppyo jjim (4.5/5) - Braised prime beef meat bones in soy reduction with carrots, radish, dates, chestnut, rice cake and glass noodles. We got non-spicy. It came in a HUGE bowl. Definitely meant to be shared with a group. Took leftovers home and it was still yummy the next day mixed with knife-cut noodles I had at home.

TLDR: Definitely go visit if you want some spicy flavorful soup alongside some really tender meat! It's delicious. Food: There is so much flavor packed into the Pork Bone Broth Soup that we were shocked when we tasted it! I couldn't stop drinking it. They give you rice on the side to eat with the soup. It's actually quite a large serving for a decent price. I do think the side dishes could be better, there are only two varieties they serve: Kimchi, Kimchi Horseradish, and Beansprouts. None of them stuck out. The Jokbal is delicious if you like pig trotter. Would not recommend for most eaters unless you want something new. Service: Nothing too crazy about the service. They came back for refills which is great. They were very nice and since it was busy they had to keep moving around. Nothing outstanding but solid work. I do feel with some Korean establishments there is a language barrier but they understand english well enough for foreigners to go. Environment: Newly renovated building gives it a sleek, modern look. It's very nice, seats are fine. Only issue is they had flies here and there that will go after the food. So please be prepared to be on the lookout. It's the primary reason we docked a point. The line was out the door so maybe they came from outside? They definitely need a better system for that though if it's a consistent problem.

The food itself is consistently good. The parking lot is very, very small and shared with the cafe next door, so parking can be a squeeze. Because it's so popular, it gets very busy during prime dining hours. Even when I've ordered takeout, there can sometimes be a decent wait to get your food so I recommend order online or over the phone ahead. They do charge a little extra if you pay with a credit card to cover the fees. If you visit during the summer months, you absolutely have to try the Naeng Myeon (cold noodle soup) or the Bibim Naeng Myeon (spicy cold noodles).

A staffer brought over a reasonable but light sized selection of banchan (and not 100% sure how to get more after I asked and then apparently they were too busy to come back to give more). Rustic Korean look is about right - more like a bit of a drinking spot + food, and they had a section with candy ($2 each, you pay on your honor system) along with some old school video game cabinets. Located on the second floor, so take the stairs up or the elevator. The sides included some rice cake with fish cake in a sauce, scallion pajeon pancake slices, large pieces of nappa cabbage (cut later by a server rushing back), bean sprouts, some kind of mayo/egg salad, marinated broccoli, a few grilled slices of sausage meat, sliced large daikon pickles, and a few other items. The basic soup with kimchi and steamed egg was good. We ordered on the tablet and asked for water - they brought very nice cold barley tea (and they had a hot one later for my wife when we asked for that separately) - excellent on a hot day. The BBQ - they will grill it for you. We had the gas grill turned on, it was slightly tilted to let the grease runoff - the vent above. The special dry-aged pork belly was ok ($35.19), a little nutty/earthy and a bit "stinky". It was super fatty and good with the doenjang or sesame oil w/ salt. The pork short rib cuts were cooked in the kitchen and brought out on a little metal tray to keep warm, so that was immediately able to be eaten, that was marinated well, juicy, and less fatty but a small handful for ($35.19) - expected a bigger serving. We also tried the seafood pajeon - very thick, lots of scallions, some jalapeno, and only a little seafood chopped up on top. Perhaps the more traditional way - a thick layer of scallions and some batter on top, was what it felt like. The side of regular pajeon with the banchan was small and crisp and better, actually. The last dish was a shin ramen fried rice - pork fried rice mixed with a Shin Ramen and put on the grill - it was already ready to eat but the server made it into a nice little heart. Tasty mix. Went on Labor Day, so the buy 2+1 free meat wasn't applicable even though it was Monday-Friday summer deals. The check also had the 3.5% off but not the extra 5% on the tablet screen, so ended up just paying via card. I saw one group come in to try to sneak a bunch of beer they were bringing in themselves and probably left after being told they couldn't drink it or maybe there was a cork fee? The restaurant does serve alcohol. There were a number of delivery orders for pick up and people waiting on seating (it did get busy) so the one waitress was running around cooking BBQ, the manager/owner(?) was running back and forth between taking orders, making food in the kitchen, packing items, and getting folks seated, so that made some people impatient. Parking available around the corner at the Pocha restaurant or the muni lot across the street. Overall I've had better BBQ but it was a reasonable try.

    We descended like a plague of hungry locusts here a comfortable 45 min or so before Jesus Hour was…read moreup (AKA Korean church). That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.
